Hot Child in the City...

That's what kept running through my head as I was making a card for the very first...

Could not get that song outta my head...
it's still there...
and you'll see why in a moment!
But Suzanne gave us a wonderful inspiration pic for this month...

and because I'm fairly new to WPlus9 with only a handful of sets...
I decided to just focus on the colors for this one...
and went with the bold yellow, vibrant orange and hot pink!
I pulled out the fabulous A Pocketful set...
I have wanted this set since the first time I saw Anya use it on her blog...
and it's finally in my possession...
and how could I resist cutting a hot pink pocket and singing "Hot Child in the City" while doing it?
And if you're too young to remember hot pink jeans and/or "Hot Child..."...
I don't want to know!
*giggle*

So here's what I did...

I kept it pretty simple...
heat embossed some white "stitching"...
and yes...
once upon a time (*cough...the 80's*) you could even buy them this way in the stores...
and then added some of the adorable little blooms included in the set to fill my stylin' pocket!
Added some fabby plaid ribbon that matched the color scheme perfectly and viola!
Sweet and simple!

Hope to see you along the way...
and if you haven't heard about this one yet...
check out all the details here and grab some inspiration while you're there from Suzanne, Anya, Christina and Gayatri so you can play along!

Hi Friend! I love the embossed denim and all the songs you sing to yourself when making these fabulous cards. I can't believe you handcut all those flowers! The effect is well worth it, and the ribbon looks gorgeous. :) Thanks so much for playing along!!!! HUGS!

NOW this is a pocket full of beauty. LOVE the flowers coming out of the pocket, the images that are popped up, the colors and that YUMMY plaid ribbon!!! I REALLY want this set but sometimes I get a bit nerdy and think oh this tread will change so do i want to invest in a trendy stamp or do I want to stay more classic ........ it is kind of like clothes you know I really only buy trendy items at H and M because I stress when I pay for something that will be out in one season!!! I did buy a pair of skinny crops this past spring that are navy with white polka dots and when I saw them I thought I could be Jackie O or me wearing them so I bought them ......... lets just say they were an investment piece LOL

Ah, takes me back to a time less complicated, wearing coloured jeans. Back to reality, love this card with the flowers popping out of the pocket, could be a good idea for little girls birthdays - one for the inspiration folder.

This is so pretty. I love the pink pocket with the white embossing, and think that I may have had a pair of pants just like that, back in the day (remember Dittos?) Colored jeans are back in, FYI, and of course, you are so stylish you already know that.

Well I just love your cute little pink pocket :) The white embossing is so bold and the multi-colored flowers help to bring it all together. Makes me smile! You're such a cutie, I'm so glad you played along with us!

Renee, you are just too funny and now I have that song stuck in my head! Thanks a bunch...I do remember Ditto's those bring back lots of fun memories too. Now on to your card, just so fabulous, love all of the flowers peeking out of the hot pink pocket and that ribbon is just to die for. Too sweet.

Beautiful pocket and love love those pretty tinsie flowers coming out of pocket. Your card is making me want to make a pocket card. Love your card. Thanks so much for the inspiration and playing along with us @ Cloud9
